FAQs

The EDS3230 is designed as a two-gang, three-pole snap switch control station with a single 1 in hub, rated 20A at 120-277V. It is compatible with standard Eaton EDS line components and documented via IF 242 instruction sheets, making retrofit and expansion straightforward in facilities using Eaton control architectures. This reduces wiring complexity and panel redesign time while maintaining hazardous-location compliance.
EDS3230 supports 20A at 120-277VAC, enabling multi-device control within a single enclosure. Its three-pole, two-gang configuration supports sequential or simultaneous control of connected loads, and the 1 inch hub accommodates typical conduit sizes. This combination ensures reliable operation across common industrial motors and actuators while minimizing voltage compatibility issues during installation.
This control station is well-suited for hazardous locations across oil and gas, chemical processing, and heavy manufacturing where Class I/II/III locations are encountered. With NEC/CEC compliance and rugged NEMA ratings 3, 7, 9, it supports safe, compliant operation in challenging environments, such as exposed outdoor installations or chemical processing areas, while reducing the footprint and wiring required in control panels.
EDS3230 carries NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-location area classification approvals (Class I Division 1 & 2; Class II Division 1 & 2; Class III), along with NEMA ratings 3, 7, 9. These certifications help streamline acceptance by inspectors, ensure safer operation in classified locations, and support ongoing regulatory compliance for industrial automation projects.
By consolidating control points in a single two-gang enclosure with a robust Feraloy iron alloy, the EDS3230 reduces wiring complexity and panel space, cutting installation time and spare-parts requirements. Its hazardous-location certification and durable construction lower risk of unscheduled downtime, delivering measurable maintenance savings and improved asset availability over the system lifecycle.
